Starting an online business without an email list is undeniably challenging. Building your email list should be among your first priorities, along with identifying your ideal client. While this may take time, it can also be done quickly. I provide an example on this episode of The Sigrun Show, where my guest went from zero email subscribers to over $10k in revenue in just 8 weeks.
Lena Küssner has been in the advertising industry for more than 15 years. After years of working in the corporate world, Lena realized that her passion is to help solopreneurs develop their personal brands. Her educational background in Business Psychology helps in the success of her clients as she creates successful attention-grabbing brands.
Lena joins me today to share how she started her online business journey from having zero email subscribers to earning over $10k in revenue within her first 8 weeks and the marketing tools she used to achieve it. She explains the significance of having a few good mentors as role models as you become a role model yourself. She discusses why it’s not possible to determine your capability as an entrepreneur if you’re still working in a corporate setting or if you’re dealings are B2B. In addition, she shares how she transitioned from being a hobbyist or a “good friend who does the job” into a serious and bold online entrepreneur.
